THE FIRST TRAIN IN TIE WORLD TO BE WARNED AND
LIGHTED WITHOUT FIRE.
The New York Sun OF yesterday says: The Bos-
ton express train that rolled into the 42d-Street
station at 1890 last evening pounded over the
same rails that bear hundreds of trains daily yet
it was as much Of a pioneer in its way as was
Peter COoper'S little locomotive. This train, the
latest production OF the Boston q Albany Railroad
shops at AliStOn, was lighted by electricity and
heated by steam. For the first time I'm the his
so lighted and so heated has been successfully
run. Twenty incandeScent electric lamps, ranged
In double rows along the high ceiling OF the cars,
effectively light them. Each light is of sixteen
candle power and the steady glow Is fed from the
storage batteries Of the Julien system. News
papers may be read with ease, and the cars
are cheerful and pleasant. There are sixty
storage cells to each car, placed under
the floor between the trucks, and they may be
charged with electricity while the train is laid up
on side track in Boston. They will hold twelve
the round trip to New York and return and with
time TO spare. The steam-heating device consists
OF an arrangement OF pipes, which take live dry
steam from the dome OF the locomotive and con-
ducts Ii through the cars so as to distribute the
heat thoroughly. The distinctive features Of the
system are an automatic preSSure-reguiating
valve on the engine and controlling valves for
each ear from main pipe below the car, SO that
the different cars may be kept at varying tenn
peratureS. The water of condensation is carried
on by an automatic drip, and does not return to
the boiler. The live dry steam is thus enabled to
do its perfect work. Great Importance is placed
upon the safety or these appliances in case of a.
c1dent. There are neither lamps nor stove to set
fire TO the wreck.

The New York Star says: The great question
among yachtsmen yesterday was what yacht will
be called upon to defend the Americas cup from
the English cutter Thistle in the races next
October. Many OF them profess to believe that
half dozen yachts can be found at any time to
protect t from any vessel that can be built on the
other side. 4 good many, however, are not so
sangutne, and think that IL the Mayf1Ower goes to
Queens jubilee regatta, the chances OF the Thistles
bearing away the trophy will very much increase.
There Is some mystery regarding the new steel
sloop being built by Mr.. c. o. Iselin. She is de-
signed by Mr.. Burgess. and on the same lines as
the Puritan, but whether she has been built for
speed above every other consideration is known
only to her owner and her designer Her name is to
be the Tftania and she will be ready to leave
her ways at Pipepgrass' yards, City Island.

terjl, NJ. A.. b. L., Brahnin OF the highest caste,
and a descendant of the Hindoo reformer OF the
early part OF the century, bewidered the members
OF the Nineteenth Century Club last night with a
tranScendental discourse on Indian theOsOphy and
its relations TO Western civilization. He is
striking looking man. with regular features
dark. almost black, skin, silky black beard by
no means heavy, and long. curly hair, flowing
below his neck. He wore queer sort OF straight
garment, hitting quite close TO the figure, and
reaching 10 the knees; trousers OF orthodox pat
tern covered his legs
He defined theoSOphy as truth. and said that the
great sale OF Edwin Arnold'S Light OF ASIA
showed how Indian ideas were beginning to infiti-
ence Europe. In defining a contradiction in terms
he rather startled his mixed audience by using the
ILLUSTRATION, Il barren wOmanS son." He
quoted Tertullian'S famous - Certuns est
qua est impossible" as a paradox which
contains great truth. Among the other
things he said were: 1.-The idea OF immortality is
proof OF its existence. Any religion OF which |
have knowledge Is absolutely true. The ciyiiza-
ton Of Europe was caused by Christianity. The
ego that Is the witness OF evolution exists
